Database to find literature, established protocols, and best practices for collecting, storing, and handling biological samples. Its main purpose is to help researchers improve the quality and reproducibility of biospecimen-based medical and genetic research. Provides a library of validated protocols that laboratories use to properly process human biospecimens (like blood or tissue) without degrading their molecular integrity. Offers procedural guidelines (BEBPs) backed by scientific literature to protect samples from pre-analytical variables (e.g., storage temperature, time-to-freezing). Catalogs thousands of peer-reviewed articles focused on biospecimen science.

Portal for preclinical information and research materials, including web-accessible data and tools, NCI-60 Tumor Cell Line Screen, compounds in vials and plates, tumor cells, animals, and bulk drugs for investigational new drug (IND)-directed studies. DTP has been involved in the discovery or development of more than 70 percent of the anticancer therapeutics on the market today, and will continue helping the academic and private sectors to overcome various therapeutic development barriers, particularly through supporting high-risk projects and therapeutic development for rare cancers. Initially DTP made its drug discovery and development services and the results from the human tumor cell line assay publicly accessible to researchers worldwide. At first, the site offered in vitro human cell line data for a few thousand compounds and in vitro anti-HIV screening data for roughly 42,000 compounds. Today, visitors can find: * Downloadable in vitro human tumor cell line data for some 43,500 compounds and 15,000 natural product extracts * Results for 60,000 compounds evaluated in the yeast assay * In vivo animal model results for 30,000 compounds * 2-D and 3-D chemical structures for more than 200,000 compounds * Molecular target data, including characterizations for at least 1,200 targets, plus data from multiple cDNA microarray projects In addition to browsing DTP's databases and downloading data, researchers can request individual samples or sets of compounds on 96-well plates for research, or they can submit their own compounds for consideration for screening via DTP's online submission form. Once a compound is submitted for screening, researchers can follow its progress and retrieve data using a secure web interface. The NCI has collected information on almost half a million chemical structures in the past 50 years. DTP has made this information accessible and useful for investigators through its 3-D database, a collection of three-dimensional structures for more than 200,000 drugs. Investigators use the 3-D database to screen compounds for anticancer therapeutic activity. Also available on DTP's website are 127,000 connection tables for anticancer agents. A connection table is a convenient way of depicting molecular structures without relying on drawn chemical structures. As unique lists of atoms and their connections, the connection tables can be indexed and stored in computer databases where they can be used for patent searches, toxicology studies, and precursor searching, for example., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on July 31,2025. A web program that organizes lists of genes of interest (for example, under- and overexpressed genes from a microarray experiment) for biological interpretation in the context of the Gene Ontology and automates the analysis of multiple microarrays then integrates the results across all of them in exportable output files and visualizations. High-Throughput GoMiner is an enhancement of GoMiner and is implemented with both a command line interface and a web interface. The program can also: efficiently perform automated batch processing of an arbitrary number of microarrays; produce a human- or computer-readable report that rank-orders the multiple microarray results according to the number of significant GO categories; integrate the multiple microarray results by providing organized, global clustered image map visualizations of the relationships of significant GO categories; provide a fast form of false discovery rate multiple comparisons calculation; and provide annotations and visualizations for relating transcription factor binding sites to genes and GO categories.

GoMiner is a tool for biological interpretation of "omic" data including data from gene expression microarrays. Omic experiments often generate lists of dozens or hundreds of genes that differ in expression between samples, raising the question, What does it all mean biologically? To answer this question, GoMiner leverages the Gene Ontology (GO) to identify the biological processes, functions and components represented in these lists. Instead of analyzing microarray results with a gene-by-gene approach, GoMiner classifies the genes into biologically coherent categories and assesses these categories. The insights gained through GoMiner can generate hypotheses to guide additional research. GoMiner displays the genes within the framework of the Gene Ontology hierarchy in two ways: * In the form of a tree, similar to that in AmiGO * In the form of a "Directed Acyclic Graph" (DAG) The program also provides: * Quantitative and statistical analysis * Seamless integration with important public databases GoMiner uses the databases provided by the GO Consortium. These databases combine information from a number of different consortium participants, include information from many different organisms and data sources, and are referenced using a variety of different gene product identification approaches.
